SummaryPolyhydroxyalkanoate bio‐based plastics made from renewable resources can reduce petroleum consumption and decrease plastic waste disposal issues as they are inherently biodegradable in soil, compost and marine environments. In this paper, the successful engineering of the biomass crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) for the synt...... hiện toàn bộ
Expanding the base editing scope in rice by using Cas9 variantsWiley - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 499-504 - 2019
Kai Hua, Xiaoping Tao, Jian‐Kang Zhu
SummaryBase editing is a novel genome editing strategy that enables irreversible base conversion at target loci without the need for double stranded break induction or homology‐directed repair. Here, we developed new adenine and cytosine base editors with engineered SpCas9 and SaCas9 variants that substantially expand the targetable sites in the rice genome. These ...... hiện toàn bộ
Simplified adenine base editors improve adenine base editing efficiency in riceWiley - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 770-778 - 2020
Kai Hua, Xiaoping Tao, Liang Wei-yi, Zhaoxia Zhang, Runyu Gou, Jian‐Kang Zhu
SummaryAdenine base editors (ABEs) have been exploited to introduce targeted adenine (A) to guanine (G) base conversions in various plant genomes, including rice, wheat and Arabidopsis. However, the ABEs reported thu...... hiện toàn bộ
Genotyping genome‐edited mutations in plants using CRISPR ribonucleoprotein complexesWiley - Tập 16 Số 12 - Trang 2053-2062 - 2018
Zhen Liang, Kunling Chen, Yan Yan, Yi Zhang, Caixia Gao
SummaryDespite the great achievements in genome editing, accurately detecting mutations induced by sequence‐specific nucleases is still a challenge in plants, especially in polyploidy plants. An efficient detection method is particularly vital when the mutation frequency is low or when a large population needs to be screened. Here, we applied purified ... hiện toàn bộ
WRKY transcription factors: key components in abscisic acid signallingWiley - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 2-11 - 2012
Deena L. Rushton, Prateek Tripathi, Roel Rabara, Jun Lin, Patricia Ringler, Ashley K. Boken, Tanner J. Langum, Lucas Smidt, Darius D. Boomsma, Nicholas J. Emme, Xianfeng Chen, John J. Finer, Qingxi J. Shen, Paul J. Rushton
SummaryWRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination. For over 15 years, limited evidence has been available suggesting that WRKY TFs may play roles in regulating plant responses to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), notably some ...... hiện toàn bộ
Green leaf volatiles: biosynthesis, biological functions and their applications in biotechnologyWiley - Tập 13 Số 6 - Trang 727-739 - 2015
Muhammad Naeem‐ul‐Hassan, Zamri Zainal, Ismanizan Ismail
SummaryPlants have evolved numerous constitutive and inducible defence mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. These stresses induce the expression of various genes to activate defence‐related pathways that result in the release of defence chemicals. One of these defence mechanisms is the oxylipin pathway, which produces jasmonates, divinylethers and g...... hiện toàn bộ
